The Pioneer Woman: Black Heels to Tractor Wheels: A Love Story (Paperback)

March 2011 Indie Next List

“The Pioneer Woman is at it again, but this time she's not dishing up recipes, rather she's giving us the juicy details of her courtship and her first year of marriage with her own 'Marlboro Man.' It's not your conventional fairy tale - Drummond went from designer clothes and spa days to becoming the hard working wife of a cowboy on an isolated ranch. But through it all, it's still clear that she landed one major prince. She traded her glass slippers for cowboy boots--and she couldn't be happier.”
— Jackie Blem, Tattered Cover Bookstore, Denver, CO

Description

Thats when I saw himthe cowboyacross the smoky room.

Ill never forget that night. It was like a romance novel, an old Broadway musical, and a John Wayne Western rolled into one. Out for a quick drink with friends, I wasnt looking to meet anyone, let alone a tall, rugged cowboy who lived on a cattle ranch miles away from my cultured, corporate hometown. But before I knew it, Id been struck with a lightning bolt . . . and I was completely powerless to stop it.

This isnt just my love story; its a universal tale of passion, romance, and all-encompassing love that sweeps us off our feet.

Its the story of a cowboy. And Wranglers. And chaps. And the girl who fell in love with them.
